Modeling a Hybrid Microgrid in Simscape Electrical™

Getting Started

Instructions on using the content are contained within Modeling_a_Hybrid_Microgrid.mlx and Microgrid_Energy_Management.mlx.

The Hybrid Microgrid

The system we are working towards is a hybrid AC/DC microgrid containing traditional rotating machinery, a battery, two fuel cells and a PV array. There is a simple management system that controls the transfer of power between the DC and AC sides.

Aim of Content

• To learn Simscape Electrical essentials.
• To build confidence in the development and test of interconnected AC and DC system simulation models by incremental creation, test and integration of components covering a range of fidelity levels.
• To provide a platform upon which more detailed system simulations can be created.
• To consider modeling fidelity and how it maps to technology development.
